Objective To investigate the relationship between serum vitamin A deficiency (vitam in A deficiency, VAD) and infectious diseases in children.MethodsAdopt the method of random sampling, sample of Cixi City prevention center with a total of 5000 children under the age of 6, according to the age groups were divided into 6 groups, the detection of vitamin A in children refers to the blood, separation of serum collected in dark conditions, with strict quality control, detection of serum vitamin A by fluorescence method (vitamin A the concentration of VA.).ResultsIn the two weeks, the incidence of VA in children with fever and acute respiratory infection (ARI) increased.ConclusionOur children's serum VA content is low, the lack of the high rate of children regardless of individuals or groups are prone to acute infection, VAD is the cause of children prone to acute infectious diseases is one of the important reasons.To strengthen health education, improve parents' feeding knowledge, proper oral Cod Liver Oil drops and reasonable feeding, is conducive to the healthy growth of children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors that influence the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts in newly reported HIV-infected cases aged 50 and above in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province during 2016 to 2021, and to understand the patient immune status and disease progression so as to provide scientific basis for HIV prevention and control strategies in the future. MethodsData was collected from the national HIV/AIDS information system. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the analysis of factors affecting the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts. ResultsA total of 642 cases of HIV infection were newly reported, among them, 571 cases had CD4+T lymphocyte counts and 200 cases (35.03%) had CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. Patients who were in the 50-59 age group, male, divorced or widowed, and less educated were more likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. Compared with active testing consultants, forced reeducation through labor or drug rehabilitation cases were less likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. ConclusionThere is no obvious upward trend in newly reported HIV infected persons aged 50 years and above in Dehong Prefecture during 2016 to 2021. However, the situation of CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1 is still serious. Attention should be paid to the key groups: male, Chinese nationality, farmers, Han nationality, married or divorced, junior high school education or below, and heterosexual transmission. It is necessary to strengthen the intervention in people aged 50 and above and improve the detection efficiency.
